Lionel prewa
Posted by Ribdoner on Saturday, January 5, 2013 11:05 AM

Trying to restore my dads old prewar o scale train. I am looking for parts for a 2615 baggage car, specifically a roof. Some where in the many trips around the world we have lost this item. Anyone out there know where I might find a replacement? Our train is blue, but I would take a green or red what ever I could find.

thanks for  your help.

I am not sure if Madison Hardware is still in business, as they used to have Lionel parts for sale. If not try going to a train show or on ebay and buying an old passenger car that needs work like a 2640 or 2641.

Madison Hardware has been gone for a long time now, a 7-11 now sits in the lot that Madison used to occupy.
